Are you a rider who values fun on the trail as much as all out speed? The MX wheeled Bronson could be the sweet middle ground you’ve been looking for. 160/150mm travel hits the goldilocks zone of ride feel, 29er in the front keeps things stable and under control and the 27.5” rear wheel loosens up the back end to carve tighter arcs than your wagon wheeled friends.
The Bronson also features the steepest seat tube available on a Santa Cruz bike. While not the most glamorous claim, it does mean that the rider is put in a very central seated climbing position, ultimately making the grind up Golfie for another run less fatiguing and more comfortable.
Now fitted with the Glovebox in-frame storage and size specific carbon layups, the Bronson is better than ever!
If you love diving for an inside line and boosting lips as much as you like pushing for the fast, wide lines, the Bronson could be for you.
